Frankfurt / Cologne –
At Borussia Mönchengladbach, he was considered the upcoming German midfielder. At 1. FC Köln he managed to get back into the Bundesliga under Christoph Daum (66), but was mostly crossed over with the star coach. Thomas Broich (39) was only happy again in Australia – but he has long since regained the desire for German football.
And now the TV expert, who was supposed to accompany ARD for the EM, which has now been postponed to 2021, has another job in active football: From summer on, Broich will train the U15 of Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt together with Jerome Polenz (33).
Gladbach, FC, Eintracht – the boy is probably into traditional clubs with atmosphere and powerful fan curves.
Thomas Broich: “For us this is the perfect constellation”
But first he wants to work from the small places in the youth area for the professionals. “Developing the game concept first and implementing it in a second step is the perfect constellation for us,” explains Broich. “We thank Eintracht for the trust they have placed in us.”
